This week has blown by! Only one day left till the weekend! No big plans for the weekend—perhaps some work on the portfolio and perhaps stuff for class. Everything is starting to catch up on me!
I finally registered for classes for next semester. ASG has inspired me to learn more about architecture, and so I signed up for a city design and architecture course. Pretty cool!
I’m really starting to get super comfortable at my job (I know—it took me how long!?). I’m really starting to feel like I am gaining some kind of knowledge base here—a sense of who I am, where I fit in the office, and what my role is. I have enough confidence to make more of my own decisions and take on some more autonomy. Hopefully when I walk into my next internship over the summer I’ll begin with this same level of security and confidence. It’s got to get easier, right? I really can’t wait until I finish school and start work for real, though (in three years…hoorah for graduate school…). I’ve only had a taste of this kind of lifestyle—but I think it suits me.
Last week I went to see Newseum on its opening day with work. We went to study the architecture of the building and later on we had a Design Pin Up/Happy hour where we all hung up sketches and photos of the museum and discussed. It was really interesting. The museum was super cool—we only had our lunch break to spend there, so I didn’t get to explore as much as I would have liked, but I’ve suggested to Fred that we go on a field trip there with the BIT program. I've heard that university and college groups can go for free ;-) The World Trade Center exhibit was very moving—I can’t believe it’s been…almost seven years? It’s funny how no matter what, the world keeps turning. Life keeps barreling on, and eventually after a tragedy—no matter how severe—we return to "normalcy."
Lessons of the week:
1) See the cherry blossoms during their peak! Don’t be a fool like me and miss them.
2) Go see the National Mall at night—I swear it was one of the most beautiful, powerful things I have ever seen.
